Joe Biden's presidential campaign on Wednesday morning claimed the race is "moving to a conclusion" in their favor, hitting a confident tone about battleground states that have yet to announce a winner — while suggesting main districts in those states could be called as late as Thursday.

Election night ended without a presidential race call, as the results in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada and Alaska hung in limbo.

A Biden campaign official on Wednesday morning, though, told that the race is moving to a result in their way. "This is moving to a conclusion — and moving to a conclusion in our favor," the official said.

The official showed confidence in the competition in Wisconsin, saying they expect it to be called in favor of the former vice president later this Wednesday morning.

As for Michigan, the campaign says they will have an “insurmountable” vote-by-mail lead and expect that battleground state to be called later Wednesday.

The official also said the campaign is positive in Pennsylvania and expects that results from Philadelphia’s vote-by-mail would be published later Wednesday or early Thursday; predicting a similar timeline in Georgia, while taking a closer look at Fulton county; and foretold a Nevada race call by Thursday.

Biden, just after midnight on Election night, spoke in Wilmington, Del., and said that he was “on track to win this election."

“Be patient—it ain’t over until every vote is counted—every ballot is counted,” Biden said. “But we’re feeling good, we’re feeling good about where we are.” He added: “We’re gonna win this.”

Meanwhile, President Trump, in the 2:00 a.m. hour on Wednesday, also showed confidence — but took it a step further in declaring victory in multiple key battleground states, while indicating that his campaign would push the Supreme Court to rule over disputed ballots while suggesting that a “very sad group of people” was trying to “disenfranchise” voters.

The president, speaking from the East Room of the White House, alongside first lady Melania Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and second lady Karen Pence, thanked his supporters and touted “record” turnout.

“We won states we weren’t expecting to win,” Trump said. “Florida, we didn’t win it, we won it by a lot.”

“We won the great state of Ohio, we won Texas…It is also clear that we have won Georgia,” Trump said, despite that race not yet being called. “They’re never gonna catch us. They can’t catch us.”

The president said the same of North Carolina, saying he has “clearly won,” and again, that “they can’t catch us,” despite that race, too, not yet being called.
